Stafford County Homes & Amenities

The Stafford County VA real estate market is located about 50 miles north of Richmond, and 25 miles south of Washington, D.C.

Stafford County homes are located within the metropolitan area, which makes it convenient for those commuting to work in D.C. However, because the county is a little further away, housing prices tend to be much more affordable than other parts of Northern Virginia.

Residents enjoy the area's many recreation opportunities, which include over 1,000 acres of parkland, two fishing lakes, the Rappahannock River, and the Potomac River. Also located in Stafford County are three renowned golf courses—Augustine Golf Club, Cannon Ridge Golf Club at Celebrate Virginia, and the Gauntlet Golf Club at Curtis Park.

In addition to numerous outdoor adventures, Stafford County also houses recreation centers, art studios, wineries, and several sites of interest for history buffs. Popular sites include Chatham Manor, Gari Melchers Home and Studio at Belmont, George Washington's Ferry Farm, the National Museum of the Marine Corps, and the White Oak Civil War Museum.

The county is very proud of its rich history, but it is also progressive in terms of future development. The area has experienced a great deal of growth in recent years, and hosts a number of Fortune 500 companies. The county was even named as one of the country's "Best Places to Get Ahead" in 2008. This is an excellent area to settle down, with great plans for the future.

Customer Reviews

"I was very satisfied with Team Capalbo's services. They sold our rental property in VA while I'm in Europe, without having to fly back. Carolyn's knowldge of the area helped price the house well (more than I expected) and was sold in less than a week. She provided very useful advises from start to finish. Her team had contractors ready to bid for some repairs and I was provided with a couple of bids for my approval. The electronic signing of the documents was easy and efficient. Her team was very responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend this team to anyone"
